EOS Webcam Utility pro wont open

I'm having problems with the webcam utility. I used it last week to stream on Twitch with no issues, but today the webcam utility isn't detecting my camera at all. The USB icon with a red X that usually appears when a camera is not connected is notably missing.

So I tried opening EOS Webcam Utility Pro to see if I had to adjust a setting within the program, and it just won't open. Attempting to open it creates multiple processes but it never manages to opens a window.

The last thing I tried was uninstalling and reinstalling all Canon software on my pc, including drivers, but it still isn't working. I'm frustrated and out of ideas at this point. Any help would be appreciated!

t’s begin with telling us which camera you have.  What brand of computer to you have and which Operating System are you running?  Has your OS been recently updated?

Make sure that you have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions disabled.  Use the supplied cable.  Do not use any USB port adapters.

The motherboard firmware in some computer brands need for you to manually start the EOS Utility 3 the first time you use it.  Think of it as a jump start.

If the OS detects your camera after turn it on and asks you what action should it take, then select “Take No Action.”

Are you running an commercially available off-the-shelf computer?  Or, is your computer a desktop that you have built from a motherboard?

Any updates to this issue? I am faced with it now. Software will not open up. T6i, PC windows 10 64 bit and 8 cores 64gb memory so PC is plenty big enough. cable is good. like I said software wont open when clicking on the desktop icon but creates multiple instances within task manager

Same thing here. Did you ever get to fix this? 

Hi, Anes!

Try the following to resolve this frustrating situation:

• Make sure you are using the latest version of the EOS Webcam Utility Pro from https://canon.us/ewu 
• Verify your camera is listed on the COMPATIBLE CAMERAS list - it must be the exact model.
• You must be in the United States.

If all of these things are true and you still have problems using the EOS Webcam Utility Pro, I recommend calling phone support for one-on-one troubleshooting at 1-800-OK-CANON (800-652-2666). Our support team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET).

 

Hi Stephen, 

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately, there isn't any support for my camera in Europe.

I noticed that the Rebel T7 is only listed in EOS Webcam Utility Pro 2.3 version. As you can see in the screenshots I've attached, I'm having the following issue: My camera isn't even connected to the PC, but for some reason, EOS Webcam Utility is blocking other apps from accessing the camera. I've adjusted the camera's privacy settings to allow apps to access it, but the problem persists. I've also checked Task Manager to see if anything else was using the camera, but I couldn't find anything. Could the reason be that I'm not in the United States?
